Und es stimmt: das Viertel ist vorbereitet und dekoriert. Und eigentlich sollte man es sich mal anschauen gehen, auch wenn uns die entsprechende Kostümierung fehlt.

Aber es gibt weitere gute Gründe nicht zu gehen: schon ohne Halloween schiebt man sich am Wochenende nur so zwischen den Menschen durch das Viertel UND morgen früh gibt es gleich ein wichtiges Meeting mit Ct. Orlov - Glück gehabt ;)
Wiki weiß außerdem noch über Halloween in Hong Kong zu berichten:
Halloween in Hong Kong has two traditions. The first involves the event called "Yue Lan" (Festival of the Hungry Ghosts). Its emphasis is less on celebration, rather it is an opportunity to give gifts to spirits of the dead to provide comfort and ward them off.
The second and more commercialized event is celebrated by expatriate Americans or Canadians. Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park (die beiden größten Vergnügungsparks, Anm. der Redaktion) host annual Halloween shows. Lan Kwai Fong bars will be decked out with Halloween decorations to lure ex-pats and locals interest in Halloween. Traditional "door-to-door" trick or treating is not commonly practiced in Hong Kong due to the vast majority of Hong Kong residents living in high-rise apartment blocks.
